Not surprisingly, Babe Ruth was the big winner here with 130 victories. What was surprising to me was the strong finish by John McGraw. I remember that he was a / the key member of the old Baltimore Orioles before the turn of the century, but I primarily think of him as the tough manager of the New York Giants at the beginning of the 20th.
The Babe had a 23-game win streak during the season and finished with 10 straight Ws. One of the Babes had a 4-homer game and the top Ruth hit 50 homers while the whole team managed 337. After flying out in the 2nd, one of the Wade Boggs slapped 8 straight singles in a 21-inning victory over Garret Anderson.
Ruth, McGraw, Boggs, and Mo Vaughn move on to Round 3. The others get a second chance in Round 2.
